I'm trying to update my apt-get list. In my country a lot of sites are blocked or have been blocked from companies.

When I use a proxy for the whole system I get errors, tor works perfectly when browsing. My question is can I update apt-get through a connection from tor? I mean I want to unblock the blocked sites using tor connection so I can perform "apt-get update" without errors ...

Thanks in advance.

Edit BTW : I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and Tor 0.2.21
